Research points to the possibility that the parents of Adolphus Dingman
was Jacob Dingman and Eva Shutter. After checking with the LDS
records, taken from the Kinderhook Reformed Church records, I feel
Jacob and Eva are parents. Research continues for ancestors.

The parents of Louise Hames Dingman were Edward Boyd Hames and
Mildred Bloomfield Duncan. The parents of Edward Boyd Hames were
UNKNOWN.

Wayne Dingman married to Helen Jean Wood on May 3, l953, Sunday
afternoon at 6:00 p.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church in Paris, Texas. To
this marriage God gave two children, Wayne Dingman, Jr., born October
24, l967, in Terrell, Kaufman County, Texas, and Melody Jean Dingman,

Wayne Dingman, Jr. was born October 24, 1967, in Terrell, Kaufman
County, Texas. Wayne was placed by adoption with Wayne Dingman and
Helen Jean Wood Dingman when he was about 10 1/2 months old. He has
always been such a precious loving son to me, his mother. He has been
such a blessing, sent from God.

Wayne has attended Paris Junior College and Kilgore Junior College as a
student in the Police Academy. He served 6 years in Texas National Guard
in Lamar County, served 6 months at Ft. Leonard, MO. in basic national

on June 23, 1990 in Paris, Lamar County, Texas. The place of the wedding
ceremony was at Bywaters Park (This is a local historical, garden-like area
with a Greek column peristyle. The park was donated by one of the
founding fathers of Paris and has been used for outside weddings many
years).

ANDREW R. DINGMAN

Andrew R. Dingman, great-grandfather of Wayne Dingman, born June 7,
1802, married to Elizabeth Watson on April 5, 1828, at Kinderhook, NY.
He died November 4, 1865 (possible Nov. 14, 1865). Elizabeth died
October 28, 1876.

Those of the family who died while still in ILL are probably all buried in
Long Point Cemetery, near Niantic, ILL, which is located a short distance
from Springfield, ILL. Thomas Edward Dingman and wife, Emily
Chambers moved to Texas between the birth of Cora, November 1876 and
the birth of William Thomas at Roxton, June 1879.

Information received December 1995, indicates Kinderhook was a Dutch
and German settlement in the State of New York. Kinderhook still exists
in Columbia County, located about 10 to 15 miles south of Albany, just
east of US Rt. 9. I was told that Kinderhook is a lovely little town.

Kinderhook was settled by Germans and Dutch from the Netherlands, of
the Dutch Reformed Church. Some descendants moved into New Jersey
and Pennsylvania, while others moved toward Illinois and Texas.

Elizabeth Watson, born September 7, 1804, married to Andrew R.
Dingman on April 5, 1828 at Kinderhook, died October 28, 1876.

Children born to Andrew R. Dingman and Elizabeth Watson were

1. Andrew R. Dingman, Jr., born October 21, 1829, married Ann
Anderson on June 10, 1856, died May 17, 1867;

2. Catherine Maria, born October 28, 1831, married F. A. Hermanall on

July 13, 1853, probably while in NY, second marriage to James Chambers
in ILL;

3. Gerusha Jane, born 1834, died at 4 years old, July 1, 1838, (found out in
Dec. 1995 the spelling of this name may be Jerusha, and if naming
traditions continue, is named after Elizabeth's mother);

4. William Randolph (or Radolpas), born August 7, 1837, married (1)
Mary Hathaway on September 21, 1862, died 1920, buried in Long Point
Cemetery at Niantic, Ill, married (2) Lena Bryant on November 17, 1901;

Children of Mary Hathaway and William R. Dingman were

(1) Ida Dingman, 1864-1943, married George Foreman (1859-1923). Mary
was born in 1844, died at 55 years old in 1899. Children of Ida Dingman
and George Foreman were

(1)Howard, married Nora Sweet, no children,

(2) Freda Foreman, 1887-1931, married Harry Cross.

Their son is Donald Cross.

(2) Charley, 1866-1939, married (1) UNKNOWN

wife (2) Ella Waddell, 1871-1938,

child was Irma Dingman, married Shelly Parks and they had two
daughters.

The story, according to Mrs Martin is that Ella Moore, died 1945, having
no children, husband had died, therefore, she willed to her nephews,(child
and grandchild of sister Ida, Howard Foreman and Donald Cross her
sizeable estate.

Mrs. Martin said that in 1957 for the last many years since 1945, that
Howard Foreman, recluse, was drifting with the river, enjoyed his liquor
and she did not know if he still had the money or not.

Records need to be checked at Decatur, Mecon County, Ill. courthouse.
Many of these persons are buried in and around Niantic, Ill. according to
Myrtle Martin of Springfield, Ill. who helped with cemetery research in
1958.

Children of William R. Dingman and wife, (2) Lena Bryant

(1) May Bell born Feb. 2, 1903,

(2) Archie born Feb. 3, 1905,

(3) Catherine born March 14, 1907, died June 6, 1907.

5. Thomas Edward Dingman, born November 8, 1841, married Emily
Chambers on March 23, 1868; he died at 7:00 p.m., 72 years old, on April
3, 1912, place of death is unknown. Both are buried at El Bethel Cemetery,
west of Paris, TX, near the Brookston community.

6. Helen Elizabeth, born February 22, 1845, married to George P. Burton
on February 6, 1862.

Information from the old DINGMAN BIBLE indicates the name Kate
Castle, 1831, died November 8, 1911, 80 years. I have no idea the
connection to the Dingman family. It is possible that Kate could be
another daughter of Andrew R. Dingman and Elizabeth Watson, however,
Kate was born in 1831, and would have had to been early in 1831 because
Catherine Marie was born Oct. 1831.. I have not, as yet, found the name,
Kate Castle, in any LDS recordings.

It is possible that Kate Castle could be a slave of the family since it seems
that she may have stayed with the family and was listed in the family
Bible.

Additional research information received December 1995 from several
sources.

From Sandee Dingman, received from historian, Berle Clemenson, when
he was researching the cultural landscape of Delaware Water Gap
National Recreation Area in 1994 and 1995:

1. Andrew Dingman I (1711-1801?) Dutch pioneer of Kinderhook, N.Y. He
settled along Delaware River about 1734. He began to operate a ferry
across the river to New Jersey in 1735.

2. Andrew Dingman, II Continued with the ferry

3. Daniel W. Dingman (1774-1862) Andrew II s son did much to shape the
village of Dingman s Choice which grew up around the ferry. Served in
PA legislative 1803-1813.

6. Solomon Dingman. Was either brother of Alfred S. or was Alfred and
went by a middle name.

During my research I found a male, named Solomon Hornbeck Dingman.
The Dingman lines continued to name children after an ancestor,
therefore at this time it is difficult to determine correctly.

From Lorine McGinnis Schulze (descendant through Jan Bradt, brother
of Eva/Aeffie deNoorman aka Eva Bradt, who was married to Jacob
Dingman)

(lschulze@bconnex.net) (Compuserve 74551,47) received the following
information:

Dingman Family descended from the immigrant ancestor, Adam
Dingman, born Haerlem, Netherlands and in Greenbush NY by 1663.
Most of the Dingman Family come from one Dutch immigrant ancestor to
NY in the early to mid 1600s.

Adam Dingman married Aeltie Jacobse Gardenier, daughter of Jacob
Janse Gardenier, also known as FLODDER. Adam Dingman died
sometime after 20 Mar 1720 because his last will was dated 20 March
1720.

His children were Jacob, Janneke and Garrit. Jacob Dingman of
Kinderhook NY, married to Eva Swartwout, daughter of Roeloff
Swartwout and Eva/Aeffie deNoorman, also know as Eva Brandt. Jacob
and Eva s sons were Adam, born 7 Jan 1700, Johannes (John) born 13
Feb. 1704, ?married to Marytje Muller, and Gerardus, born 9 Jan 1709.

Lorine suggested reading books relating this time period in History. Books
which tell of the early Dutch in NY and to locate the Kinderhook branch
information. She also said Kinderhook was/is a town/city in NY, settled by
the Dutch in the early 1600s. She also said to check baptismal records of
the Reformed Dutch Church at Kinderhook for Andrew s birth, which
would have parents names and maybe other information. Same records
would have marriage if done in same church.

The Dutch usually named their kids in a very traditional order - the first
son after the father s father, the second son after the mother s father. The
first daughter after the father s mother, the second daughter after the
mother s mother. If this was the case, then if Andrew followed the pattern,
his mother and father were Andrew and Catherine.

She suggested that Gerusha Jane, dob 1834, would be spelled as Jerusha,
in all likelihood instead of Gerusha. And that William Randolph dob 7
Aug 1837, if the pattern was followed, Elizabeth Watson's father was
William and her mother was Jerusha. She suggested that Kate Castle, if
listed along with other children might be another daughter, Kate Castle
Dingman.

Lorine suggested to write to Marjorie L. Dingman Braley, 4339 Sasse Rd,
Hemlock, MI 48626, as she is a Dingman descendant. I wrote a couple of
times, but the letters returned, unknown.

Received e-mail message from Ruth Jordan Thoden, that she is not direct
descent from Dingman line, however, a Dingman married the Swarthout
family and was a prominent family on the border between New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, having built the first ferry boat across the Delaware River.
RuthThoden@Delphi.Com

Adolphus Dingman and Catharine Frisson were the parents of the
following children. (Birth

dates will probably be between 1760-1775, if they married by age 15 but
not after 30 years of age.) Apparently, all of their nine children were born
in Kinderhook, Columbia County, NY. Married in the state of NY, 1788.
There were four boys, and five girls.

1. Jakob, born about 1789, christened 3 May 1789 at the Reformed Dutch
Church, Kinderhook, Columbia, New York. (m)

2. Anna, born 23 May 1794, from church records. (f)

3. Catharine, born 18 Sep 1797, from church records. (f)

4. Eva, born 18 Sep 1797, from church record. (f)

5. Andrew (Andries), born about 1802, christened 1 Aug 1802, at the
Reformed

9. William, born about 1812, christened 13 Sep 1812 at the Reformed
Dutch

Church, Kinderhook, Columbia, New York. (m)

The above information was obtained from the records located in the
Family History Center, from

International Genealogical Index and Ancestral Files, Batch # C5111011,
Sources 534198 1718-1795, and 534199 1795-1864, Print Out #1205007,
Film #446251, Ordinance #23377, 23378, 23379, 23380, 23381. This
information was extracted from records of the Reformed Dutch Church,
of Kinderhook, Columbia, New York. For some reason, there was a note
that for all the girls the relationship to others were stated.

JACOB DINGMAN

Jacob Dingman and Eva Shutter were married in the State of New York
during the year of 1765. The following children were born in Kinderhook,
NY and all were christened at the Reformed Dutch of Kinderhook,
Columbia Co., NY.

1. Adolph Dingman, born 21 Dec 1766.

2. Abraham Dingman, born 23 Oct 1768.

3. John Dingman, born 23 Dec 1770.

4. Jacob Dingman, born 1773

5. Andries Dingman, born 16 Apr 1775.

6. Anna Dingman, born 1 April 1777.

As of this date, no other information is available but this couple appears to
be the likely link to Adam Dingman, 1645-1721, wife, Aeltie Jacobse
Garninier 1646-1720, who came to America from Holland.

I am continuing my research for this lineage.
